Life of a Trollblood

He decided to attack the Kryss Timberlands. We decided on our armies and then voted on what Event in the area we wanted to play on. We both picked the Dense Forest as our preferred event so rather than roll off we just elected to play that event. Here are the rules that we created for the campaign.   -Dense forest                 The entire map is forest. The forest is so thick Large based warrior models are not allowed. Large based warbeasts gain the following penalties -1 Def   -2 Threshold and are agitated every activation (gain 1 Fury). While a model has the Hunter ability they can ignore forests when determining LOS. Since the entire map is forest terrain (well we could put out a patch of open terrain) I looked through my models and tried to come up with some sort of plan to overcome that because lots of my models don't come with pathfinder and none have wings. The other b...

The game to start the game! Well tonight we were able to get our first game in! We decided to start off with a small scout encounter and there are 2 types of scout groups that we can run one is a Warlock with just beast points totaling a 0 point army or an army without a Warlock that we would decide on the point size. The good part is it makes the game small and quick the bad part is it messes up the balancing act that the designers intended. I personally feel like my army needs units to do well and Legion does great with Beast/Lock setups.   The Power of Dhunia                                                        Children of the Dragon Ragnor         ...

Trollblood Warders! I am super excited to be able to present these guy's to you. It has been a little bit since I last post but that is because I was working on these guy's I think they turned out pretty good. Here they are. Yes I did take the time to get Front arc's done on these guys and I will do the same from now on. I also threw some grass on the bases to add a little there. As I was taking the pictures today I noticed I forgot to label them 1-5 so I can track HP on them. I will add the numbers to the backs of their bases the next time I bust out my paints. Unit Leader I painted the black part of his shield to make it look like the Chintin on my brothers Legion of Everblight Warbeasts they are an orange skin with black Chintin. With his permission here is a picture of his color Scheme to give you an idea of how he is painting them. This one is the Raek. I also decided to skin one and make a shield out of the skins. Click on the picture to get a close u...

My first decent Albino Trollkin. I think that this model is a great pose with his scroll out casting magic from it. Same issue as before he still needs his Front Arc painted and the base finished. This model is a Solo model that when played is attached to a unit and becomes part of that unit. He activates along with the unit but does have a special rule that when the unit receives the Press Forward order (normally a model in the unit has to run or charge) he gets to cast a spell then charge.  I think it would be fun to have 3 sorcerers attached to a unit of Runeshapers. Imagine 3 earth wielding trollkin along with 3 Frost wielding trollkin. Other thoughts I have had is attaching them to Fennblades with their UA to grant the extra movement on them while charging or throwing them with scouts to get AD on them. If you attach them to the Sons of Bragg they benefit from the fell calls so their Razor wind attack can get up to 14. It would be amusing to get a full unit of Scribes w...

Currently I am working on Warders. I have 2 painted and 2 that are getting their base coat before I wash them. I typically leave the unit leader as the last one that I paint. It is such a satisfying feeling to get the whole unit finished and even tho the more models you paint in a unit you want to just be done but I leave him for the last so I make sure to slow down and take my time with him to make sure he stands out a bit. I feel like I am a slow painter when it comes to speed. I wish I could pound out a model every hour or even every 2 hours would be nice but I am not that fast.. well not if I want it to look better than my 6 year olds paint job that is. Next up on my list of things I want to paint. Front arc's I plan on going through all my painted models and lining them up and getting all of them taken care of. Now that I'm posting my models online I'm a little embarrassed that my bases are not finished. I will post pictures of the finished warders when I get to th...

Mulg the Ancient On a large base this guy packs a punch. He is one of my favorite all time models. Out of all the models I have played on a table at my local hobby store this one gets the most comments. People either love or fear Mulg. As far as Caster/Warlock kills this guy does rank up there as a model that gets the job done. I didn't give him the traditional "Blood for the kill" but that is because I don't have tons of time to paint. I am hoping that will change and I will be able to devote some time every week to painting. Here is my MULG! No front arc. Uggg, I will be painting front arc's on lots of my models soon and I will get an updated Picture up here once I do. My brother is a great painter and I still have not caught up to him in skill. I do love the pointers that he has given me and tricks that I have learned from him. This model is still one of my personal favorites as far as the paint job on him. After painting this model is when I decided tha...

Troll Axer! In my opinion this is the best light beast Trollbloods have. Rush is just amazing on basically every model you can put it on. I mean, I would rather have the Str buff from the Mauler but in a game where you have to go get your prey +movement is awesome. This is the very first Trollblood model I ever painted. The first primer I used back then was Gritty so he ended up "lumpy" I had this great idea that I would add blood to the weapon of any model that had a killing blow on a Caster/Warlock and so the blood was added after. I think he still looks good even tho he has been chipped up. I have not played recently because of life but I have a renewed desire to get these models back on the table and get back to painting them. Because the Axer is so helpful I have another one that has earned paint and game time also. I painted both these Axer's before I found the color scheme I wanted. So, he has no Yellow on him just yet. Well other than the welp...

I painted this model a long long time ago. This was not my first Horde Trollblood that I ever painted but pretty close. I figured I would share it with you all for your viewing pleasure. Even way back then I did not like my models to look the same so I shaved this one and he is better looking because of it. You can see some of the nicked paint from me playing him. Back then I front arc'd my models in Red but I plan on making it universal among all my models. My favorite part about this guy is his Quiver. He does not see the table as often as he use to because of the changes they made to him. I normally don't have much of a ranged game at all. Maybe one day I will learn a new method of trolls not just the good old fashion "Axe to face".
